Figure 3-12 Beacon information display
SS: SS (Signal Strength) displays a numeric
representation of field strength of the received
signal on the selected frequency. The higher
the number the stronger the received signal.
If noise is present at reception band width,
the figure gets bigger.
SN: SN (Signal-to-Noise) ratio displays the
ratio between the desired signal and un-
wanted noise on the selected frequency. The
higher the SN ratio the better the quality of
the signal.
Note: If your equipment does not have a
DPGS receiver, the message “NO DIFFER-
ENTIAL DATA” appears when the soft key
BEACON INFO is pressed.

How to read the compass display
The solid inverted triangle at the center of
the compass shows own ship’s course (head-
ing). The hollow inverted triangle shows the
bearing to destination waypoint. When own
ship’s course is changed, the hollow inverted
triangle moves with course change.
